Kyle Kuzma has accumulated 2.3 personal fouls per game this season, a sizeable increase from his 2.2 fouls per game last season.The Washington Wizards are expected to suffer a reduction in opportunities in this game from facing the 9th-slowest pace-of-play team in the league this year (the Pistons).Offensive rebounds maintain possession and produce additional chances for scoring and assists, but the Wizards grade out 3rdworst in in the NBA at home with just 8.7 offensive rebounds per game this year.Without the home court advantage, the Detroit Pistons have allowed the 5th-most offensive rebounds per game (12.6) in the league to the other team over the last 5 games (offensive rebounds maintain possession and can therefore lead to additional chances for scoring and assists).Kyle Kuzma will not receive the benefit of the home court advantage in this matchup. Playing away from your home stadium tends to lower player production for all stats.
